Editor:
I was disappointed to see Angie Kounelis give her notice that she was stepping down as a Town Councilor!!
First and foremost Angie was special in keeping East Enders in the know on what was happening in our part of town!! But more than that she was different. She took no money at all she placed no signs on lawns. She spoke her mind and she got elected every time!!
She paid attention and knew the issues like the back of her hand! I admired her a lot, and we had a difference once. East Enders came to count on her and she delivered every time!!
To say that she will be missed in this part of town would be an understatement!!
Thanks for your service Angie.

Thank you Angie for your service to the people of East Watertown. You were always there to inform the East Watertown residents of issues affecting them – and to work on those issues .
It was my pleasure to serve with you .
There were times we were on opposite sides but always with respect,
I know as you look presently at pleasant street and all the small abutting streets you will remember a zoning ordnance voted by the town council years back.
It prohibits the building of one family -2 family and all family housing – on all those small abutting streets and Pleasant street – and allows 5 story buildings and business there.
I was hoping to build a neighborhood for middle class people .
I have to believe if you could go back – you would NOT have voted yes with 7 other councillors .
I never questioned your vote.
-But I believe it’s time now to say publicly with a heavy heart- I forgive you .
I appreciate your years of dedication for your constituents.
I wish you good health and a happy retirement .
You have earned it .
